Thanks STex, I did a little searching and found the one in Victoria. It sounds great. I read through some of the technical requirements and it's looking like they're wanting a bit more from me than I'm willing to do. I don't have a problem with the safety clothing. I'm a long time motorcycle...
I've had mine into triple digits a couple of times but nothing close to 130. I also didn't stay there long so if the hood shook, it wasn't much or I just didn't notice. One thing I'd really like to do is a top speed run somewhere. Not on public roads of course. There are Youtube videos of...
I find the hood shake comments interesting and I've read similar comments on it in other conversations. Most seem to claim it's most noticeable at speed. I'm wondering how fast that is? I've not noticed it on my 2016 GT so far. I've had it up to speed a couple of times but maybe not fast...
Hey, that's an idea. I hadn't considered them being visible in a dash cam. I don't have one but have been considering getting one. If I may ask, which dash cam do you have?
I don't think anyone suggested otherwise. The situations where the hood might be an issue for some people probably does't present itself while running down the freeway anyway.
The 15-17's do present with a large flat hood out in front of the windshield. They've also got those two large ridges that run down the hood, visually dividing it into three sections. The 18's appear to be much more subdued in that regard. My 2016 GT has turn signal indicators imbedded in the...
Regardless of what gas mileage we get in real world driving, you really do have to appreciate the technology. I've been reading these discussions and thinking back to the first V8 equipped car I ever owned. It was a 1975 Plymouth with a 318 V8. It was EPA'd 12 city and 20 highway. I usually...
Haven't driven the 2018 but I would expect, because it's been lowered at the front, that the visibility would be better, but that you'd have to be careful because the car isn't any shorter. The front bumper is just as far out there but I'm curious as to what kind of visual cues the driver has...
Man, that's one hell of a find. I'm amazed it sat on the lot for that long. Makes me wonder how badly they were trying to gouge the price? Hope you got a good deal on it!
Another gauge you can look at is the A/F ratio. During just about all driving, it stays very close to 14:1 which is optimal from what I understand. Driving down the road and letting fully off the gas peddle, it pegs as lean as it will go. Only way that's happening is if the fuel is all but...
It's true there are many variables but as a general rule, the driver is one of the most influential factors in fuel economy. Some of the best gas mileage I've ever gotten has been up in the mountains but in that case, altitude can be your friend, especially if you're driving a NA engine, and...
It's entirely on how you drive it. I've found that most folks who "think" they drive in an economical manner, really don't. The 5.0 will get into the 20's without too much coaxing but a couple of slightly more aggressive acceleration runs is all it takes to kill that. I almost never have a...
I picked up a 2016 GT convertible used last November. I looked into it's history and discovered it's one warranty visit was some kind of adjustment to one or both of the rear windows. I don't know exactly what the complaint was and I've had no problems with it myself. What prompted me to...
Thanks Copie. I got home about 9pm. Out of curiosity, I hopped in the car about 12:30 before climbing into bed and everything came up and is seems to be working just fine. Phone hooks up, navigation found itself and all functions are there. Steering wheel controls are all back online as well...
I picked up 2016 GT convertible with sync 3. I did the update to add Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. That part went fine and the system has been great until today. I met a friend for dinner this evening. The system was working normally on the drive to the restaurant and not on the drive...
Is the PP worth it? For me? No! That's not saying it's a bad deal, you get a lot of upgrades with it and that fine and dandy. I bought the convertible. I have absolutely no interest in racing or hot rodding the car and while I do play with it from time to time, I'm very careful about that...
